heart Wow, ever sit back and think of something in the past and realize how incredibly lame you acted? Thinking of a certain situation and how you could have handled it differently? Most people think of how they could have avoided embarressment... but here I am thinking, how it would have been okay to have been embarressed. I've been thinking lately, how I should have just gone for it. Thrown caution to the wind and dove right into uncertainty. I'm sure everyone is a little confused now.
heart You see, over a year ago a friend of mine may have been flirting with me. I was confused because I had just met a guy, Alex, that I sort of was interested in... and I never had been able tell if my friend was interested in me or not. So I did nothing when he would flirt with me (if it was even flirting... like I said, I could never tell) and I ended up dating the other guy, because I could tell with all certainty he was interested. I took the safe way, protected my ego, and I've never regretted it more.
heart I broke up with Alex after 2 months (it's horrible, but neither of us really kept track... that's how i knew i wasn't serious about him). He thought I was childish, and I thought he was too strict, so we went our seperate ways. My dear friend has gone away too. Now I talk to him more than I ever did before, and he is so special to me. I should have taken the risk, but I didn't. He doesn't think I'm too childish, if not he encourages silly behavior. He's funny and friendly, and I only wish I had taken the chance and done anything. Held his hand, lay my head on his shoulder, kiss him... but I didn't, and he gave me every opportunity.
heart My friends, please, learn from my mistake. If you like someone, tell them. Take the risk because you really don't have anything to lose... or at least nothing other than pride and pride isn't as valuable as a chance to love someone who's special to you.
